The police units first headed toward northern Kosovo but later went west from Kosovska Mitrovica.
Serbia's Ministry for Kosovo State Secretary Oliver Ivanovic earlier on Wednesday accused the Kosovo Albanian authorities in Pristina of "attempting to provoke the Serb community" by sending "some special forces" to the Serb-dominated north of the province.
Ivanovic specified that these forces were headed toward the town of Leposavic under the pretext that they would be "holding an exercise" there.
The ministry official noted that EULEX, KFOR and the International Civilian Office "had not been informed about this".
"This is pure provocation. However, Serbs in the north of Kosovo are monitoring every road and know about their every move. Also, Serbs should not fall for these provocations coming from Pristina," Ivanovic stated earlier.
In Pristina, an Interior Ministry official said there were "no unusual activities" in Kosovo on Wednesday.
"There have been no unusual activities of the members of the ministry in any part of Kosovo," Fisnik Redzepi was quoted as saying.
